2018 HI Governor's race: on Gun Control


Andria Tupola: Supporter of 2nd Amendment, it's a right not a privilege

I support 2nd amendment rights and have regularly helped the NRA oppose some of the legislation regarding gun control. We didn't have any last year. But the year before there were many bills introduced and I voted No on all the bills that took away gun rights. I agree that the right to bear arms is in fact a right, and not a privilege that can be "curbed" by legislation. I am firm in my stance to protect the second amendment.

John Carroll: Gun control bans should be handled on state level

Q: What (if anything) should the U.S. Congress do to reduce gun violence?

JC: At this point, Hawaii has reasonable gun control laws. Gun control bans should never be enforced on a national level, but should be handled on a state level.
